Sunday night for dinner, we're choosing between a few restaurants. first choices are restuarants with cocktails.

Anyway, because one diner is a vegatarian, we can't agree on any. So we end up in this new Himalian place. You have to take your shoes off, and you kneel at a low table- AND NO ALCOHOL.

The guy comes to take our drink order, "this tea or that tea?"

I ask if we can also order food now- it took 10 minutes for him to get over to even take the drink order. He says okay- but warns us that everything is cooked to order by him, and it takes a long time. We say okay.

No food comes out for a really long time. He has 1 woman helping him, and we get no water refill, no one checks if we want another drink- nothing. So on the way to the bathroom I ask her to bring me a tea- 15 minutes later she brings it. My wife asks for another tea right then. 10 minutes later we get the food. We're done eating about 20 minutes after that and they finally bring her tea as she gets up to leave. I stay to pay the bill, and he makes clear we've bought the tea- "Do you want it in a to-go cup?"

Anyway- bill finally comes, and as I'm paying it he says "Have a nice life!" kind of under his breath. I say "wait why do you think you'll never see me again?" He says he hopes all his customers come back, etc.

Question- I realize I behaved not in keeping with tibetian principals or some shit- I realize I should have appreciated the time to savor the anticipation of the tea and food- but what I don't know is if "have a nice life" is the simple "Fuck you" it seemed to be. Is that some Buddist parting thing, just as a wish in case you don't see them again?

I'm betting it meant "fuck you Hank," but I'm hoping whoever it was that knew "Namaste" might have a different perspective.

Of course it meant "fuck you Hank."

Did he try to set you on fire?

I had one trick-or-treater. He may have been the cutest wookie I've ever seen, though.

We had hundreds of kids last night. It was the busiest night ever. We went through 8 bags of candy. I was surprised to see how many parents were filming the entire trick-or-treat experience. I was videoed 3 times last night. Junior mints and whoppers ran out first. Then the twix and snickers.

so yes, I'm calling bullshit

Go ahead.

I was a vegetarian from about 2002-2004. I don't remember eating with you then. But since you know me so well, feel free to comment on any aspect of my life you'd like to call bullshit from that period of time and any other.

(With all respect, of course, to Junior Mints and Whoppers.)

He definitely spit in your food.

Fine - as much as I hate to do so - I call bullshit on that story involving Joey Sakic, Pamela Anderson and the midget.

Retire this stupid fucking story already. Jesus.

That one is true! I swear. I have the first-place midget wrestling trophy to prove it.

The one about Tie Domi, two curling rocks and a large bucket - though - I made that one up.

I just want everyone to note that Slave never called bullshit on any of my stories.

I call bullshit on your sweater-around-the-neck choice before you learned (by watching dtb) that that was wrong.

But a non-vegetarian never needs to go to a place to not eat meat? So it is better that I have a side of asparagus and cooked carrots at a fancy steak place than a meat person actually having some sort of vegetable stew once in their life? Doesn't seem quite fair to me.

That being said, whoever insists anyone goes to ANY restaurant without alcohol is a moron.

Male vegetarians are wussies.
